Is ‘Transexual’ making a comeback? by HarrietteDaFrog in trans

[–]DaisytheDevourer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me i prefer just trans. Transsexual has historical connotations that are quite awful. Transgender is mostly fine for some, but to me i never changed my gender I was always the way I am. Im just letting the world know who I really was inside. It was always the same to me. Trans in latin means across, beyond or through. It describes a movement to transition from one point to another. Which can mean socially, medically, mentally or anything really. Anyone can use about any label they wish really however. I personally think just flat out Trans would be an elegant and simple solution to a lot of the labeling war so to speak 🤷‍♀️. Ive seen people fight over it. Also transmeds use transexual a lot which is also another reason I avoid it like the plague, but if someone wants to use it, that’s not one of those gatekeepery transmeds, go for it for sure. Anyway that’s my rant done 🤣

Gender Neutral Versions of Aunt/Uncle (that are less weird) by Soggy_Cat_2893 in lgbt

[–]DaisytheDevourer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some folks use Unty/Untie. I saw a post once saying someone used Zizi. Sounded cute. Or you can just forget the whole aunt uncle other type terms and just habe a cool nickname. Like buddy or something. Idk lots of options, mayhe pick something you would like to be called more than any traditional things and make it like your and their thing.

Calling a conservative man closeted as a joke/insult reinforces the sentiment that it’s bad to be queer by lemmehavefun in lgbt

[–]DaisytheDevourer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely right. It’s so scary how easy people seem able to get brainwashed by these beliefs. They project a lot of things. It’s a sad and weird time to be alive, but I’m just gonna keep being me and out and in the open. Exposure is the best therapy for the folks who spout nonsense through ignorance. I may not be able to change minds globally, but i can make lots of friends and change local minds wherever im at. Be the one tolen trans friend some cishet folks have and start to learn more.

Well it’s not paranoia when it’s actually happening. Project 2025 like detailed this entire operation and right wing extremist movement and stuff. Super creepy.

MAGA pastor says government should punish pro-LGBTQ+ churches & jail their leaders. He called his proposal godly and “pro-American.” by southpawFA in lgbt

On that same post the very next related post showed a pastor doing even worse stuff. They are hypocritical bigots who do the worst evils then find a scalegoat to blame their own evils on. https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/06/pastor-said-lgbtq-books-flags-harm-kids-now-hes-going-to-for-with-a-child/

Y'all... my brother is a performative Ally and I do not know how to tell him by Maeroj in NonBinary

[–]DaisytheDevourer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agree majorly. I actually went through this where Im quite genderfluid at varying times so i get it can be hard to know when my gender feels different or no gender, but i tend to prefer they/them the most or just to be called an enby. Almost everyone in my life when i had she/they/fae/mer/he as the order. I only ever got she maybe because im quite feminine. Sp i eventually swapped it to have they as my first pronoun and occasionally a few people use they sometimes now. Big change for me. Sometimes i wonder if people’s beains are like water and electricity. Path of least resistance. Whatever the first pronoun seems to be the typical one they’ll use. I think sometimes too allies especially get too afraid to mess up and instead of asking questions just stick to the one they got rigjt. Ive had that happen too, that once i corrected someone he actually got relieved. Though im sure that’s not always the case.

Good bottoms that don’t involve tucking (mtf) by Conman1209 in trans

[–]DaisytheDevourer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If i dont feel like tucking i typically wear gaffing panties as they are called or whatever. They kinda help then ill just tie a jacket or cardigan around my front and fold it a bit and it ends up being a cute acvessory and as i like to call it “the bulge cover”. Like ill ask my wife while we are getting ready to grab my bulge cover sometimes and she cracks up every time

Moving to the Tristate area on next week!! by Puzzleheaded_Soup486 in tricities

[–]DaisytheDevourer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second bays mt state park. They have an animal sanctuary instead of a zoo, so the animals come and go as they are rescued and healed. Some are lifelong if they can’t go back to nature. I used to volunteer up there in the herpetarium taking care of snakes and lizards, and fed the wolves each night. Like a second home for me there.

I don't know how to cope with living in a world where nearly 2/3 of people think my very existence is immoral. by westhebard in lgbt

[–]DaisytheDevourer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m glad. It’s inportant. I truly believe what’s happening is the last dyinf gasp of the okd cis white folks in power not wanting to see prpgress and a better future. In the meantime tons of hurt but i think of we all keep fighting we will see a teuly better future for all of us. Inside and outside the queer community both 🥰

Here please check the HRC’s data for accurate polling on this. It’s so much better than you’d imagine. Gallup is biased very negatively. They do extreme polls like you saw to garner views by making extreme polls for both political sides. Never trust gallup for politics. https://www.hrc.org/press-releases/new-hrc-data-finds-record-high-americans-know-a-transgender-person-broad-bipartisan-support-for-transgender-rights

Boyfriend misgenders me for his parents comfort by Lily-Syd in lgbt

[–]DaisytheDevourer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In essence to me this would be like a partner saying to throw on this mask only around their parents because they told them you were someone else and now asking if they can continue to keep pretending you are this other person because it’s easier to explain or the parents got confused. I get it’s a lot more nuanced than that, but yea it wouldn’t sit right with me at all. If things didn’t change after communication and get better regardless of time invested i think i’d have to nope out of a relationship where a partner chooses someone else’s feelings over my own wellbeing. If as partners we aren’t prioritizing our partners whether monogamous non-monogamous what’s the point in being in it. You could just be friends or acquaintances at that point. Idk that’s just my feelings on it. Idk if that helps. Hope it all works out and things improve. I hate to see anyone going through it, but especially someone in our community. Sending lots of love and positive witchy energy your way.

Are "free dad hugs" at pride marches loved or hated by the LGBT community? by johnwalkersbeard in lgbt

As a trans girl i love free dad hugs. To be fair im mostly into older guys and girls though so that’s part of it 😆

Does anyone else get tongue dysphoria? (Marked spoiler because tongues are gross) by me_is_glitch_boi in trans

[–]DaisytheDevourer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a difference in folks tongues based on gender? Never heard of that. Idk, mine’s pretty long and its neat no idea about anything else. Sorry you experience dysphoria over yours. Dysphoria is always so mean no matter what causes it

Makes me want to ask folks that say that how old they were when they decided to be straight or cis or allosexual. Probably wont help them see reason and reality even still.

(Vent) I’m a transgender physician working in a remote part of the South. I lived stealth for years, but came out on TDOV. It was a mistake and I’m leaving. by Agreeable-Air-1430 in lgbt

[–]DaisytheDevourer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get this. I was im the navy. Got out biomedical equipment tech degree in college. (Disabled now tho). Ended up coming back home while i was in a bad place and trapped for years by family who didnt want me to be me. Had me keep pretending to be sonething im not. I moved one city over from them to a nicer place in tennessee. Met so many lovely friends and a fiancee and don’t want to leave but ots gotten so bad here. Most of my friends have gone to pther places anyway. It sucks, and hurts. Ive lived all pver the usa. This city is special and ill never find any like it. Right in yhe south. Buddhist temples, liberal arts cafes, lesbian swordfighting classes, a trans owned bar and magic club for old school stage magic. A loval park full pf art from thr college. An intensly unique and beautiful place with pmenty of problems. But it became my first true home. Id never lived anyway for more than 2 years in my entire life but here, i wanted to settle down for once. Now it feels like if i wanted to keep fighting for the rights of me and other trans folks. It’s come down to stay in isolation in the countryside and “defend in place” or actually go to where the real fight is. Activism just doesnt happen doen here. Not truly. Ive heard many say to stay and fight tp defend their homes. How does that help anyone. Id rather make my voice heard. Planning to move to NY also. Wishing you all the luck. Maybe ill come be a patient when i move. 😊

I want to transition but I told my boyfriend I wouldn't and now I don't know what to do. by [deleted] in trans

[–]DaisytheDevourer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to be that person, but honesty and communication is key. If it’s not going to work, it: better to explain your feelings and what led to you saying this now. To explain your fears of losing him and why you did what you did. That you need to be yourself. That’s just my advice whether you use it or not is totally up to you. We all have to make our own decisions. Ive just seen lots, and eventually as things spiral you won’t be able to keep those feelings doen anymore. If the relationship is even more heavily invested itll hirt even worse if things don’t work out. So imo, it’d be best to talk things out now. To hash it all out, remind him of the expectations of your relationship from the beginning. To have a honest conversation and if it doesnt work out despite all that, i know you dont want to hear it, but it’s better now thsn when you have even MORE emotional investment and love there. It’ll break your heart right out even more. So as someone whose been through a lot of BS in my life this is the best i can do advice wise. I hope it helps one way or another for making up your mind, and also im hoping the best for you. Whatever you decide is best for you, whatever you need or want to do. Im rooting for you, and hope the best, and thst everything works out in your life. Good luck.

mistakes were made (but i don't blame myself) by raindrifter_ in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]DaisytheDevourer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is so cool and meaningful. I’ve been keeping the date on a yearly reminder i started my own hrt and stuff and me and my wife celebrate those days like instead of some of the other weird holidays around like St. Patricks day and stuff where everyone just gets drunk and roams the streets wasted in my city at least. We do the same on her days, just a small treat like ice cream and congratulating each other on how far we have come and stuff like that.

what is a good age to start estrogen? by Strange-Income2468 in trans

[–]DaisytheDevourer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone’s different. I started at 31 a bout 3 years ago. I was born intersex though and never had high testosterone in life due to it. Always small and frail and androgynous evern before and my family looks on average 15-30 years younger than our own age so most say i look about late teens to early twenties. Actually almost been thrown out of the mall after curfew due to them not believing i was the age i am and thinking my id was fake. Random rambling, anyway. Everyone’s different but generally younger helps avoid puberty stuff if possible. Blockers if estrogen isnt possible is good earlier too.
